Unfortunately, another problem has turned up this morning. When I launch conserver it connects to all my devices without any issues but it only allows console to connect to those devices with a specific PID attached?

For example, if I try to connect to Bay_01, which has a PID of 1518, I don't get any problems. But when I try a different bay, say Bay_47 on PID 1520, I get the "localhost: Bay_47: no such console" message. Have I set something up incorrectly?

[Fri Aug 27 09:41:42 2010] conserver (1518): INFO: [Bay_01] port 5001 on 172.20.255.110
[Fri Aug 27 09:41:42 2010] conserver (1520): INFO: [Bay_47] port 5047 on 172.20.255.110

Thanks for you time.
Dave.

I have several PCs and servers need to manage and I don't know if conserver can help me. I read the basic.cf for beginning but I think there are some concepts I may miss. So I got some questions here. 1. What equipment do I need to use conserver to manage them? Every machine has a console port, but nothing connected. 2. Does conserver can use LAN to manage machines using console? 3. What configurations need to set up for machines including BIOS and OS? My OS is Fedora 12. So let me show the environment I have. There are 4 machines. A(192.168.1.1), B(192.168.1.2), C(192.168.1.3), X(192.168.1.10). So A, B, C will be clients, X is the server which is running conserver. They are just connected with a switch, they are all have console ports as well. But console ports are nothing connected. My question is can I use conserver to view the console information of each client? If yes, can anyone show me a basic configuration example? Thanks very much.

I generally use conserver in conjunction with a terminal server like a Cyclades or a serial multiplexer like a Digi box. The setup looks like this: Nodes A, B, C: - serial cable running to Cyclades or Digi - console=ttyS0 on kernel command line - configure serial console in inittab (or equiv) so you get a prompt Server X: - Ethernet cable to Cyclades or Digi (or put it on the switch) - converser.cf looks like so: default cyclades { type host; host cyclades; portbase 7000; portinc 1; } console A { include cyclades; port 1; } console B { include cyclades; port 2; } console C { include cyclades; port 3; } OR default digi { # devices tty100 - tty115 # use port number from box. type device; device /dev/tty1.; devicesubst .=P02d; portbase -1; portinc 1; baud 115200; parity none; } console A { include digi; port 1; } console B { include digi; port 2; } console C { include digi; port 3; } Another option might be to use Serial-over-LAN, but I don't have the configuration example for that.

(Cheers, Nate! :-) But, the roots of Conserver allowed the conserver host to have multi-UART serial boards in the Conserver server, and that may be a cheaper model for you to start. You can get some more basic information from a couple older tutorials that I have posted at http://www.conserver.com/consoles/Training/published.html Specifically, take a look at the basic tutorial from LISA 2002 ( http://www.conserver.com/consoles/Training/LISA2002-T9.PDF) or the Bay-LISA talk (http://www.conserver.com/consoles/Training/BayLISA-consoles.ppt). Nate's reply presumes that server X and the others are all some variant of Linux/UNIX. Is that true in your example? (If servers A, B, and C are some variant of Windows, for example, the newer machines do allow some monitoring of the boot process using "serial console redirection" settings in the BIOS, and some servers (ex: HP, Dell, Rackable) have Service Processors (*LOM) which even allow you to remotely reset the server, or command the power on and off... so, Conserver can even help with Windows servers as well.)

=A0 Nate has offered one good configuration, which is ba= sed on a common implementation that will scale well up to very large sites.= (Cheers, Nate! :-) But, the roots of Conserver allowed the conserver host = to have multi-UART serial boards in the Conserver server, and that may be a= cheaper model for you to start.

=A0 You can get some more basic information from a couple older tutoria= ls that I have posted at http://www.conserver.com/consoles/Training/published.ht= ml=A0 Specifically, take a look at the basic tutorial from LISA 2002 (<= a href=3D"http://www.conserver.com/consoles/Training/LISA2002-T9.PDF">http:= //www.conserver.com/consoles/Training/LISA2002-T9.PDF) or the Bay-LISA = talk (http://www.conserver.com/consoles/Training/BayLISA-consoles.ppt)= .

=A0 Nate's reply presumes that server X and the others are all some= variant of Linux/UNIX. Is that true in your example? (If servers A, B, and= C are some variant of Windows, for example, the newer machines do allow so= me monitoring of the boot process using "serial console redirection&qu= ot; settings in the BIOS, and some servers (ex: HP, Dell, Rackable) have Se= rvice Processors (*LOM) which even allow you to remotely reset the server, = or command the power on and off... so, Conserver can even help with Windows= servers as well.)

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 Best regards,

Hi,

I'm a newbie at conserver. I have several PCs and servers need to
manage and I don't know if conserver can help me. I read the basic.cf
for beginning but I think there are some concepts I may miss. So I got
some questions here.

1. What equipment do I need to use conserver to manage them? Every
machine has a console port, but nothing connected.
2. Does conserver can use LAN to manage machines using console?
3. What configurations need to set up for machines including BIOS and
OS? My OS is Fedora 12.

So let me show the environment I have. There are 4 machines.
A(192.168.1.1), B(192.168.1.2), C(192.168.1.3), X(192.168.1.10). So A,
B, C will be clients, X is the server which is running conserver. They
are just connected with a switch, they are all have console ports as
well. But console ports are nothing connected.

My question is can I use conserver to view the console information of
each client? If yes, can anyone show me a basic configuration example?

Thanks very much.

Regards,

Eric
